What is the difference between this model and the cheap purple cow one that sells for $28?

The size. Less expensive one can laminate 8 inches width and this one can laminate 13" width.
25537
The size of pockets that can go through. This one can laminate up to 13" wide, the other can only do up to 9" wide. For school projects and stuff like that for my kids, I got the larger one, and it is awesome - especially considering that the price difference is only around $10.

mine does not have a cow on it. I will give you one head's up on thing thing though: there is no knob on the top and I don't know how many times the top has almost slipped out of my hands because it is so wide and you must grab the top from the sides of it. I would not buy it again. My husband however, likes it(he has bigger hands)

I'm looking to buy one. Such a good question but no one seems to know the answer. :(update: I think they are the same except one is more cheaply built. But which one?? Who knows...could be the higher priced one!

My parents had the lower priced alternative. We really liked it, so we bought one for our family. I chose the more expensive one because it seemed to have a more powerful and more importantly, quieter motor. It also seemed like the more expensive one was a little bit more heavy duty and would last longer. Hope this helps. Either way, you will be happy with the result. So good.

I can't detect any differences. The descriptions sound the same. They are sold by different sellers, however. I very much like the model that I have and use it weekly with a biology class I teach from my home. I can fill the board with writing and then it erases easily. Haven't had any ghost images. It will also flip to the other side (which I guess would be good for a long math problem) but I haven't needed that. Easy for students to see.Also, it rolls out of the way easily on the casters. Assembly was not difficult.

I believe it is that the "pet" one comes with a "pet stain eraser tool" ....therefore the $6-$7 difference. Otherwise, the exact same machine....oh, different colors, too.

It is available in other colors. The purple was cheaper for some reason but I would have bought this color, anyway. There is more than one seller who carries this model.

I have no idea what the green model is, but I can share that I own and love the red model. And, fwiw, my prima donna of a pit bull was NOT happy the first time she entered, but after ONE ride she stepped gingerly in on her own for round two. She LOVES it, too. :)

I really don't know. I don't own the cheaper blue $20 one. I'm happy with this, however. It was fun to have through Christmas!

Looks exactly the same. Probably different sellers putting it as different names to their models. If you go on to the web site and click on one, then open anothe page and look at the second. They are exactly the same, same size, same model, same colour.Get the cheaper one and save yourself money. If there is a new and used one, get the new one.

I use the Purple Cow laminator I bought at Costco for $19.99. It is a great little machine and the pooches are perfect!

I am not really familiar with the cheaper model. I can say that the unit that I have works very well. It is very accurate and dependable and I highly recommend it.

I have not used the cheaper one, so I am not sure. I just know this one is perfect and doesn't cost very much.

The only difference is the plastic. One is dark purple, which looks black, and one is a slightly translucent blue. Both run on the same frequency: 2.3MHz.LW is correct in that the blue ones are the older model.

No difference, I believe. Just the color. We have purple and pink ones and they seem the same.
